Nit: You probably want <sys-devel/gcc-5, not <=sys-devel/gcc-5.

Portage will flag the news item as relevant as soon as it sees gcc-4*
installed. If a future depclean removes that version, I believe
portage will still display the news item. Even if it doesn't, the user
would still have had to ignore the news item and run the depclean
first.
